Wufei walked to the courtyard deep in thought. He couldn't believe what had all just happened. Marion was alive, yet she wasn't. She wasn't even real.
Wufei didn't realized that he had passed Herro when he was deep in thought.
The perfect soldier frowned when he saw Wufei walk past him.
He had a strange look in his eyes, one Herro had never seen in his eyes before.
He didn't like that look. It was a weakness. That look in Wufei's eye was a great weakness that would bring a downfall in the final battle.
Wufei continued on still deep in thought. But then suddenly a familiar, sound yet it wasn't grew close.
Wufei looked up. A helicopter flew overhead heading towards the building. His eyes narrowed and he took off after it.
Lita smoothed out her dress and stared at the door. She sighed and turned the knob slowly.
She pushed the door open. "Sorry I'm late brother. I was..."
"Hello Ralena."
Lita looked up and stared at the same girl who had asked her a question just a few days ago.
"You...why are you in here?"
Lita grew tense.
The girl smirked, "I've come to start a war. What else?"
Then suddenly something hit Lita roughly on the back of her neck and everything grew dark.
The girl sighed and stated, "alright get her in the helicopter."
The tall and strong looking man heaved the Lita's body into his harms. He slowly walked to the window.
The small girl waited. The man slammed his fist into it and the glass shattered.
The girl climbed in.
"Hurry get her in the chopper."
Herro raced down the hall. He turned a sharp corner.
He saw the office door wide open. He ran to it and entered.
His feet crunched on the broken glass.
"Hurry get her in the chopper."
Herro grabbed his gun. The girl and a man pulled Lita's prone body onto the helicopter.
"Come on!"
Herro ran to the window as the chopper started up.
Herro jumped and landed on the landing bars of the helicopter. Air hit his face as the chopper took off.
Herro hung on tightly. He had to protect the decoy to protect Ralena.
Wufei ran into the office. He glared at the chopper.
"Herro you better bring her back safely!"
Wufei had a sense of dread that it wouldn't end up like he wished it would.
The room was dark and cold. All that was visible was the floor Lita laid on and the door.
Lita opened her eyes to find her arms tied behind her back tightly. She struggled against the rope her kidnapper had her in.
The gun to her forehead wasn't very comforting either.
Lita heard gunshots on the door. The lock gave and it slid open. In the doorway was Herro.
Herro climbed up on the bar and moved to the door of the chopper.
He took his gun and fired at the handle. Without the lock it swung open.
The girl in the pilot seat shouted, "Get him!"
The large man laid Lita on the ground and moved towards Herro.
Herro ducked down in time for the man to swipe at him. He came up again and shot at him.
The man only grunted and reached for Herro. He swiped at him again.
He made contact with Herro's jaw. He was knock back away from the helicopter.
The chopper rocked from the unbalanced wait.
"Get him off of the door!"
Herro barely hung from the opened door that swung back and forth.
The man grabbed onto the hinges and started pulling.
Herro thought, "This guy can't be human."
He swung his body till his knees latched onto the landing bar. He mad it in time, just before the door broke off and the man let go of it.
Herro also let go and climbed up so he wasn't hanging.
"Is it so hard to get rid of him?"
The man grabbed a hold of Herro by his tank top, and lifted him up into the air.
The sleeve ripped and he fell from the chopper.
The helicopter landed inside of a volcano that now laid dormant.
The engine was turned off and the girl jumped out.
Two men came running up to her.
"Men take miss Ralena to the holding chamber."
The two soldiers nodded and grabbed Lita's body and followed the girl to the holding chamber.
A few minutes passed by and all was quiet in the hanger. That is until the holding trunk in the bottom of the chopper was kicked open.
Herro fell out breathing heavily while sweat beat down off his body. He wiped his forehead and stood to his feet.
He reached for his gun...but suddenly something grabbed him by the back of the neck lifting him up into the air.
Herro struggled against the bone crushing hold.
He gasped for air and slammed his foot into the man's ribs.
He was let go and fell to the ground. He landed on his feet but fell to his knees holding his neck.
Herro slowly stood and turned around. He barely harmed the thing. Probably just pissed it off.
It came at him and Herro moved out of the way. The man crashed into a wall. It pulled itself out and turned to him again.
Herro looked around. He spotted what he needed. The man came at him. Herro raced towards the elevator. The man came after him fast.
Herro yanked out one of the wires just as the man neared him. Herro then jabbed the open end into the shoulder of the robotic made man.
There were a few sparks before suddenly electricity flew around the body. Herro took off faster than he thought he could run.
Herro heard the man yell as the electricity short-circuited him.
Herro raced towards his gun. He grabbed it and ran to the stairs. He had to hurry.
The holding chambers were usually down in basement part of the bases. He quickly ran down the stairs.
It was almost like he was flying down them.
He made it to the bottom floor and ran to down the hall. He saw two soldiers guarding a door.
Herro aimed his gun and fired twice. They fell to the ground dead.
He then aimed his gun to the lock and fired till it released.
Lita was yanked to her feet. Now she was a human shield.
"Well hello Herro. I see you've made it this far. But it's now yours and Miss Ralena's end."
Herro's eyes narrowed. Lita stared at him as she struggled to break free. The grip tightened on her neck and she winced in pain.
Herro raised his gun looking for an opening.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Kill Ralena, and you start a whole another war."
Herro gritted his teeth.
The girl hiding behind Lita had no openings. His face set in a scowl.
"See, I told you. Now put the gun down."
Herro glanced around again. He couldn't shoot her. Trowa and Wufei would most defiantly be affected and he didn't need them to be mourning her death when they had missions.
Lita's voice pulled him out of his thoughts, "Herro do it. You have no other choice. You can't let her get free and harm innocent civilians. I'm nothing in this world."
Lita stared hard into his eyes.
The girl scoffed. "Oh please. You're the princess. If you die a whole war will break out."
Lita ignored her. "Shoot me Herro. Shoot me. It's your mission to protect Ralena, not me. Your mission is to bring peace. Now shoot me!"
Herro clicked the safety off.
"Mission accepted."
Herro then pulled the trigger. Lita heard the girl behind her gasp. She shut her eyes.
She felt the searing pain enter her gut. Her legs went weak and she cried out from the burning pain. Her knees wobbled as her eyes opened.
Herro's eyes held in horror. The girl had let her go in shock.
Lita whispered, "I forgive you..."
She then sank to her knees and fell to the ground landing on her back.
Herro's eyes harden as his eyes fell on Lita.
He raised his gun again and fired three bullets. The girl was dead before she hit the ground.
Herro slowly walked to Lita's form. He dropped his gun and fell to his knees.
He shot her.
Those three words flew around in his mind, over and over again.
He shot her.
It was his fault. He hadn't protected her well enough.
Blood spilled from her stomach soaking into her white dress.
"Lita?"
She didn't move, she didn't reply. Her body laid limb in front of him. Her eyes were open, showing forgiveness.
He shook his head.
How could she just forgive him?
Herro placed his hand over her eyes and slid it down. Her eyes now closed, Herro stood.
He took out the devise he had taken from he a long time ago and bent down. He placed it in her hand and stood up.
He looked at her for long time thinking. But then he turned and walked to the door.
As he neared the doorway he spoke, "Mission complete." Then he left the cold room.
Wufei didn't realized that he had passed Herro when he was deep in thought.
The perfect soldier frowned when he saw Wufei walk past him.
He had a strange look in his eyes, one Herro had never seen in his eyes before.
He didn't like that look. It was a weakness. That look in Wufei's eye was a great weakness that would bring a downfall in the final battle.
